Fort Lauderdale, United States

Background

At 15 years old, I worked at the Lauderdale Marina fuel docks after school and over the weekends. It was there that I met many other fishermen who invited me to fish on their boats. I was young and eager and happy to go along. The following year, I worked at a tournament tackle shop and was asked to fish the Bahamas Billfish Championship. I am still involved in tournament fishing as my time allows.

Techniques

Daytime Swordfishing and kite fishing is the best type of fishing here in fort lauderdale and come spring time if you want to catch a monster shark lady pamela 2 is the boat for you.

This trip exceeded our expectations. We got very lucky with weather but the Captain, Jimmy and our mate, Donald obviously knew every inch of the fishing grounds we fished. They knew building landmarks for the wrecks, they knew when to pull up and try another spot, they were very knowledgeable.
I caught the biggest fish of my life! As this Amberjack was fighting like hell and I thought I couldn’t reel it in myself, Donald encouraged me and instructed me so that I could say I did it myself and I finally landed that fish! Really fun time! My boyfriend caught a 50 lb Amberjack before I did and the fella who went after caught an even bigger Amberjack!
Jimmy and Donald worked really well in tandem and had a funny banter. Decades of experience between them. You could tell they loved doing what they do! All in all a great time! Next time I’m in town, I’m going there again!

Excellent time. We started off catching our own bait. We then fished some wrecks. Caught a small shark and a giant amberjack. We also lost about 3 other huge fish which we believed to be bull sharks. Overall a great time. The Capt and his mate Donald were amazing.

I had a great time with lady pamela 2 sport fishing. Opted for a 6 hr trip, morning bite was good and our cooler was full early in the day. Spent the last part of the trip trying to land a sailfish but left it for someone else. Boat is super clean, equipment quality is great and captain Steve works great with Doug. It was a super trip and will definitely fish with them again if back in the area

We had a tough night fishing. They moved us several times, but not much success. THAT IS FISHING!! Sometimes you just can’t catch much.

We had a great time! The crew was awesome to work with and they worked hard to get us where we could catch fish.

I would do it again. I’m not sure I would do the night one, as I did not think I could get seasick. I can. At least if I do the night one, I would take precautions.

The crew was great and did all they could to help us catch fish! Awesome job!!!

Captain Adam got us on fish and did a great job piloting and Mate Shawn kept all the tackle tangle free and we all got several opportunities to bring in fish. We ended up with 4 keepers and one lady landed a 9 foot golden hammerhead. Really amazing day.
